So, Netflix is no different from any other tv production company that’s ever existed then?

bottom line is that Prodigy Season 1 will now air on Netflix and Season 2 will hit in 2024.

It was nice to see the author of the piece dive in to the fact that the various Paramount subsidiaries don’t always share the same goals or agree with the decisions of the others.

Yeah i could make an entire post on why and what and blablabla but its worth watching, little getting used to in the beginning (as all new shows) but after a few you forget its animated and its really good (i didnt expect it to be but is) think of it as Star Treks, The Bad Batch.

It’s great for what it is, but it’s fundamentally a kids show. It’s nicely animated, well acted and a lot more palatable to an adult audience than most but it doesn’t scratch that Trek itch for me beyond using the IP. It’s very much an action adventure cartoon. If that should good to you, then yeah go for it!
If it doesn’t, you still might want to make an exception if you’re really invested in Voyager. Characters from it aren’t just cameos, so you’ll get a lot more out of it if you’d really love to see Janeway again.

I thought it was the least Star Trek Star Trek out of all of them, and I include Discovery in this list…

Did you watch more than a handful of episodes?
Most long time fans who’ve seen the entire first season describe it as the most ‘Trek’ of the new eras of shows.
It starts out intentionally in a location outside the Federation that is tonally more like SW, and with characters that either don’t know or are hostile to the Federation. It meets new viewers where they are and then brings them into the fold.
By the middle of the first season it’s celebrating everything that’s great about the franchise.

I watched like half the season before I couldn’t anymore. It was more Star Wars than Star Trek.

Uhm, would that be 5/10 episodes of the first half of season one (which has two x 10 episodes)?
Most fans view S1E6 ‘Kobayashi’ as the episode where the balance flips to be more Star Trek as it pulls new viewers in.

It’s one of those good children’s shows that’s been written with the understanding that parents will watch with their kids.

@Dyskolos@ValueSubtracted it's truly disappointing how often I see this question. I cannot give it a strong enough recommendation, our family LOVED it and my kids (and the rest of us!) can't wait to watch season 2 ❤️
Oh the majority here seems to like it, so i will give it a go. I just thought it was (from the presentation) very kid-targeted.

It’s a slow burn introduction to Trek. The show starts off having not much to do with Trek, as the crew itself has nothing to do with the Federation or Starfleet, but they go through a process of learning what Starfleet is, and they try their best to aspire to its ideals so they might be accepted to the academy when they reach the Federation. Ideas (e.g., prime directive, augments, temporal directives) are introduced one at a time with explanations. It’s not meant to “just” be a kids’ show, it’s meant to be a kids’ introduction to Trek. And as a fan of Trek, I think also a good introduction for a non-fan who might feel lost by how vast the Trek universe is. It’s not about politics or diplomacy, but it carries the same spirit of unity, optimism, and the hope for the best of humanity that underlies Trek.

Knowing Netflix? One more season, a cliffhanger ending, and bitter recrimination.
Most likely… Ugh
Truly the Google of streaming services

@Dyskolos @ValueSubtracted
somehow, any trek has its own merits - even the worst movies ( #TheFinalFrontier ) or stupid episodes with Jonathan Archer … 🖖🏽

Very well put. That spirit is what i want from my treks. So yes, will watch it 😌 Thanks man!
Second best new trek after SNW. Very very much yes.
Okokok, you all got me convinced already ,-)
Ahh. Netflix trying to “revive” a show. I bet Netflix will axe this like most of its shows.
i like prodigy but not enough to get netflix again
